AFTER FIVE SEASONS STALING, JUDGING, Love Bombing, Gaslighting, and Murdering Beautiful Women, Netflix’s Most Dangerous Serial Monogamist Finally Justice-and an unfortunately not-too-looking buzz cut. You ‘youS Final Ends with Joe Goldberg in a Jail Cell, A Joint Efffort Between Madeline Brewer’s BRONE AND THE POLICE WORK OF NAVA MAU’S DETECTIVE MARQUEZ. Though brief, the detective’s time onscreen is effective: she manages to turn one revealing interrogation into a chance to hold joe accountable while revealing how bronte, as beck’s student forms, has ben trying to bring joe Beck’s Murder.
This isn’t the first time mau’s had to force a reality check on a show full of unrelrable narrators. In Last Year’s Cultural Juggernaut Baby reindeershe played the terri, the girlfriend of Richard Gadd’s Donny and the Person Most Capable of Emotionally Grounding Him. “Once Baby reindeer Reached the scale that it did, everything felt positions, “mau says about the way the emmy-winning series Changed Her Approach to New Project.
How did you prepare for the momentousness of bringing down Joe Goldberg?
There’s an appproach to acting that is sort of discovery bassed, and it really worked for this participation. The Director Wanted US to Focus Entirely On That Episode and What Was Going On BetWeen with and Madeline Brewer’s Character, SO almost felt like on a spinoff or something. We weren’t really talking about Joe Goldberg. We were talking about this girl right in front of me that i had to question.
Did you and Madeline Discuss the Dynamic BetWene Your Characters?
The Director Actually Told Me, “Wen You Show Up in the Morning, You Can Be Polite and Cordial, but don’t talc to maddie. She Said, “Maddie’s Really Sweet, and I Think Y’all Will Probably Hit it off, so actually you need to be kind of mean to her.” Honestly, it didn’t Last Very Long. I Wold Say 10:30 That Morning I Had to Confress and Tel Her, “I’m so sorry, I actually adore you. SO THEN WE HAD TO ACTUALLY BE GOOD ACTRESSES! I Remember Maddie Saying, “Yeah, Bronte, She’s Really Slippery.” And i hadn’t quite realized from what haad reads you couuldn’t Trust this character at all. I originally thought, Maybe She’s JUST Going Through a Crisis. Maybe She’s JUST A Little Overwhelmed. Seeing the way maddie talked about the character and her arc made with the realization of the needed to be Very appreesful about the way of was apprroaching her character. So i’m glad i talked to her.
Right, this show is so much about what we’re Willing to Believe. It is easy to look at Joe as the Most unrelate narrator, but really, every single character has to evaluate where the trust anyone Else.
Also, Can We Trust Ourslves? Obiviously for bronte, that’s the question, but the Mirror is also held up by the detective. THEN THERE MOMENTS WHERE THE DETECTIVE IS CAUGHT OFF Guard and It’a Like, HOLD ON, CAN I Trust What She’s Telling Me and What I Thought was true and what the evidence seamed to suggest? I Can’t Imagine Showing Up to Work, Its Very Late at Night, and i’m Trying to Get The Fuck Out of There. It ‘the end of my shift, it went too anyway, and they made me stay Becausee of was probably only on the team at this small precinct. That’s how I played IT: I’m young Woman on the team and they made me stay. I was thinking about what it must have ben like for someone to have this show up on their desk at the midnight we have not done to be there.
HAD YOU WATCHED ALL OF You Before you were Cast?
I have swimming, and i actually think that was good for the character i came to play. She coma into the story and has to figure out what the fuck is going on, and so it kind of workhed that i genuinely didn’t know.
What Kind of Preparation Did You Do?
I Skimmed Different Seasones to Get a Feel for the Tone and to Undersand Who Joe Goldberg is supposed to be. I readerything the team sent me, which was Only my episode and a letter that was Very thorough that told with how the showrunners were THINING OF THE CHARACTER WITH THE SEASON’S ARC.
How were they Thinking About The Character? Were you thinking about her the same way?
They Said She was anchor anchor and was pivotal to this emotional touring point in the season. I didn’t get to read the whole season, so i didn’t really know what was going on, but they made it CLEAR THIS A PIVOTAL EPISODES IN BRON’S CHARACTER ARC. They really gained the detective character to guide the audience through the discovery of bronto’s transformation. I Waled Not Have Immediately Seen the Character the Way they Framed Her For Me, so i Really Appreciated that.
In bot You and Baby reindeeryou play some of the only characters who are actually grinded in reality and Can Hold Other Characters Accountable. WERE YOU THINKING ABOUT SIMILARITIES BETWEEN The Two Shows were you were filming?
Actually, no. I just dove intto this as another world. But afterward, did realize. On Paper, the tags for the show are “stalking” and “Social Media.” But i didn’t quite realie it at first.
How you will look back on that period of Baby reindeer?
Every Time I Think Back to it, Remember New Things. So many homes happy so quickly and all ata, and every single thing THAT HAPPENED WAS BRAND NEW FORM. It Might be the Most Unbelievable, Highest Volume, Biggest-Scale Period of My Life. I know that manifestation is important, and i know that I want to continue my career, and there’s so many people that want that we well. I’m so grateful for my team. We’re working really hard. And istible that Might have ben it.
Has the success of Baby reindeer Changed the Types of Projects that you’re interests in, or the way you puree say?
Yeah, definitely. I HAD Never Really Thought About ASTION AS A GENRE FOR ME UNIL I DID Baby reindeer. I had to do stunts for two days, and i was likes, Oh my God, i love this. Actually, it was the stunts and The Ballet. I had to do some training outside film, and that was the most fun for me. Once Baby reindeer Reache. Everything felt Possible. I just gave myself permission to Dream Bigger and Further.
And I know you’re planning to release a short film soon.
Yes! Its going to be out next month. A lot of People don’t realize that while the Baby reindeer Explosion was happy, I was simultaneously Having a festival of my Little short movie and going to festivals and screenings. That was just as meaningful to me. IT’s a movie that touches on intimate partner violence. I’ll leave it up to the audiences to decide if they have a healing narrative, but i came on the other side a different person. It sounds so cliché and corny, but i genuinely Needed to make it. I Feel Like it’s Tortured poets department. IT’S Heavy and there’s some sadness and pain, but the process of makeing it was so healing and cathartic. I Hope after Watching it, People know that i am on the other side now.
See all
